Thanks! I got it to work after configuring the keyboard. Though the keyboard worked fine, it wasn't set up correctly, but since it is, I can switch again. I was thinking that there must be something configured to prevent the switching, but apparently there isn't anything to prevent it in the X configuration. It was only a misconfigured keyboard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
